Abstract
The collective group identity of the category known today as
Makedonci Muslimani started with the process of conversion to Islam and
segregation from Christian community. Thus, relations with the others,
including those with the same linguistic origin, were built on the religious
base.
The national creation based on language, except for the Albanian
example, found obstacles in the religious aspect, keeping the old division of
Ottoman Millet system. The Christians in the Balkans understood the
language of nationalism, but their attitude towards the Muslims was close to
the domain of non-defined discourse between religious communities. On the
other hand, because the Balkan Muslims couldn’t adapt to the national code,
they were excluded from the process of national integration and
homogenization, and they kept their fluent consciousness represented
through the Millet mentality and the Ottoman heritage.
Throughout the twentieth century, within the territory of the Republic
of Macedonia today, the Serbian, Albanian and Macedonian nationalities
were promoted through this group. The agency used the secularization of
the society as the base for promoting the ethno-linguistic character of the
national identities. Education and mass administration were the basic tools
for indoctrination.
In the post World War II period, that which gave substance to
Makedonstvoto (the Macedonianhood), like the relations between the
Christians and the Muslims, excluded the category of Makedonci
Muslimani. For the Macedonians (Macedonians=Christians), the inherent
conflict between the Orthodoxy, as the central element of their identity, and
the Islam apriori excluded all the Muslims.
